When planning to build a new tennis court then the design and specification of the size and dimensions will be outlined which will change depending on budgets, cost restraints or physically the size restraints onsite. Some projects might only have the space for an 18m x 36m, so although it doesn’t meet the championship size it is more than the minimum recommended that is set out by the ITF. The slope of Tennis court is ideally flat, however the court should drain from one side to the other side at about 1% and this water needs to be dealt with or it can soak directly into adjacent soils (and therefore back in under the court) or it can be a source of settlement or erosion. In most cases, a concrete steel reinforced open faced V-ditch drain immediately adjacent to the court can capture this water and then dispose of it a good distance from the court.
